Prefix and then the rest manual number?

July 25, 2014, 8:40 am
$

Is there a way to have a prefix for Document type number and then after the prefix, the user can manually enter their own number?

 

Right now it's auto-generated with the prefix, ECOForm-1xxxxxx.  The user then renames the number but leaves the prefix (the number ends up being the same number as the drawing number). 

 

OIR

<AttrValue

     id="number"

     algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator"

     ignore="false"

     force="false"

     final="false">

     <Arg>ECOForm-1</Arg>

     <Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:WTDOCUMENTID_seq:6:0}</Arg>

   </AttrValue>

 

I'm wondering if we can have the number generate the prefix, but allow the user to enter the number while creating the document record.  Is that even possible?  Or can the system find the drawing number and generate the ECOForm number to match the drawing number? 

 

For example if the drawing number is 96-14-012, then the ECOForm-96-14-012.

 

Does that make sense?

Query Builder/Database Type Joins

Hi all,

 

I am currently trying to create a Query Builder report that retrieves information on an EPM Document and the Life Cycle Template the EPM Document is using.

 

I am familiar with the use of Joins to capture the relationship between the types, however, I am unsure how to create the join for these two types.

 

To explain further, I already use a join to link between EPM Documents and WTParts:

 

FromReferenceTo
EPMBuildRuleRole AObject RefEPM Document
EPMBuildRuleRole BObject RefWTPart

 

Similarly, I use EPMDescribe Link to create a join between EPM Document Master and the related drawing.

 

Can anyone help me identify the link between EPM Document and Life Cycle Template?

 

If there is a way of figuring out any of these links (perhaps by viewing the database structure) this would also be a great help.

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Tris

Hello,

 

is there any possibility to extract all our datas on an excel file for example.

I'm using Intralink 10.1 with creo 2.0,

we only deal with EPDM document, and I need a solution to have a list of ALL our datas on intralink, with all revisions.

 

On Intralink 3.4, it was very simple, I only had to launch a research with historic and " * " in the field,

and I obtained all our datas.

 

Thanks,

Log4j Log File Viewer

Hi there

What kind of log viewer do you use for programming and monitoring (without System Monitor) Windchill? I'm using LogExpert and I'm happy with it but I'm pretty sure, there are some better ones around.

One more question is, how do you open the methodserver logs? Because they contain the PID number after every Windchill restart, the log name changes. I know, that you can rename the log-files, but if you have multiple method servers, it's not recommended to redirect everything into one file.

 

Thanks for any tips

I'm looking for information from PTC or anyone else that explains how to configure Windchill 10.2 to support SolidWorks files.  I have the workgroup manager installed on the server but the SolidWorks file types are not listed as valid MIME types and they don't seem to be listed as an option when creating new documents.  I'm trying to figure out what all needs to be configured to allow Windchill to properly handle these files.  Thanks!

enumCustomize vs. wtCustom *RB.rbInfo files

In Your Opinion:

 

Which is the better solution, using enumCustomize utility?  Or creating a wtCustom folder structure with *RB.rbInfo files and running the ResourceBuild and ant commands?

 

I am going through an upgrade from 9.1 to 10.2.  On our source 9.1 system, we created custom units, roles, and states.  We were taught back then to follow the procedure in CS33684 (but with different folder structure & rbInfo files of course).

 

When upgrading, I got an error because I have not yet moved over the custom units, roles, and states to the target 10.2 system.  But now in doing research, I see CS111318 which describes to simply use the enumCustomize utility.  This seems a lot easier.  I also tested it and saw I didn't have to restart Windchill or clear the Tomcat cache or anything.  Changes made with enumCustomize seemed to take effect right away.

 

Pros/Cons?  Better/Worse?  Your thoughts?

Applet not loading in Workgroup manager

Hey guys,

     I've been mucking with this for a day or so now. I installed the workgroup manager for Windchill 10.1, and everything was fine. I believe this started after I installed Creo View.
   

   Capture.JPG

It gets this far, and then stops loading. The pinwheel in the center keeps spinning, but I can't access anything further. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all PTC products, and I deleted the entire PTC folder in Appdata/Roaming. Everything actually runs fine with regards to saving/opening files from windchill in Solidworks. (the DTI is also working fine, although my guess is that doesn't matter). It's not a huge deal, the applet still runs on chrome. I'm just the type of person that this sort of thing annoys to no end.

Any thoughts?

Setting "Autoselect Folder" as default location for new documents

Hi All,

 

I have created a new soft type of a document which is for requests of various types. I have set up an OIR so that it is created in a certain folder. The only problem is the user has to select the "Autoselect Folder" option under the location when they are creating a document of this type. Is there any way to make it so that they do not have the option and it is automatically created in the folder I have specified?

 

Regards,

Toby

Query Builder Report

July 29, 2014, 7:26 am

I'm building a Query Builder Report to find what WTparts has been modified by a process invoked by a list which comes from SAP.

 

To better clarify: we have 7 different views in Windchill (Design, Mfg, and other five views, one for each division).

 

Design View, Mfg View and Division View have three different LC.

 

In most cases it's Windchill that send LC state modified to SAP, but when a SAP user change LC state, using one of three specific state of Division view, SAP write a record in a file that Windchill process every night to align his Division view state.

 

Because this process also align more than 30 MFG attributes from SAP to Windchill, we iterate WTParts with modified attributes while only do a set state (without iteration) to the parts.

 

I was told to build the report using WTpart, Object History and Lifecycle History.

 

Which type of join may I have to use?

 

TIA

Use of "calculated link" in webject - need help

March 23, 2013, 12:15 pm

Hi everybody,

I am trying to get information about creo drawing object (in WIndchill 10.1) and I hit the wall. So far I was able to get information about creo drawing using "Query-Links" webject, and it looked fine, at first, but. The creo part is a part of a assembly and assembly also has a drawing so instead of getting one I got to drawing objects.

 

<ie:webject name="Query-Links" type="OBJ">

      <ie:param name="INSTANCE"              data="<%=wtInstance%>"/>

      <ie:param name="TYPE"                  data="wt.epm.structure.EPMReferenceLink"/>

      <ie:param name="DIRECTION"             data="referencedBy"/>

      <ie:param name="OBJECT_REF"            data="VR:wt.epm.EPMDocument:162399"/>

      <ie:param name="AUTO_NAVIGATE"           data="TRUE"/>

      <ie:param name="SELECTEDBY"           data="LATEST"/>

      <ie:param name="OUTPUT_TYPE"           data="FULL"/>     

      <ie:param name="ATTRIBUTE"              data="number,name" delim=","/>

      <ie:param name="GROUP_OUT"             data="output"/>

   </ie:webject>

 

I also tried bunch of other different link types (EPMDerivedRepRule, EPMDerivedRepRule, EPMDescribeLink, ...) but with out result. I stumble on the peace of text in the one of Windchill manuals that say "An association between a part and the engineering drawing derived from its owner-associated CAD model is automatically created upon initial upload. This association is labeled Calculated, and is not a modeled “link” in the database, but is an included association type when CAD documents are collected for actions."

 

So if anybody can give me advice or point to right direction what is "the name" of calculated link so it can be used in webject (or this can't be done) or is there any other way to get reference to drawing of particular creo part.

 

Thanks!

Did You Know? Checking Out and Modifying CAD Documents

July 29, 2014, 8:44 am

The ‘Did You Know?’ series focuses on providing PTC Windchill users with informative, “how-to” tips to help them get the most out of their software. Today PTC’s William Gruss shows us how to check-out and modify PTC Creo Parametric CAD documents using PTC Windchill Project Link 10.1.

 

Let’s say we wanted to increase the pitch of the angled surface on the tip of a part. To do this, the related CAD document needs to be checked-out and the geometry needs to be altered. First, let’s locate the ‘parent assembly’ and ‘dependents’ and check-out the CAD document in one, single operation.

 

Check-out the Document

 

To locate the CAD documents, use the “Search” function. Download the assembly and the dependents to the workspace by selecting “Add to Workspace” in the dropdown menu. The “Advanced” tab enables you to visualize the CAD documents marked for download within the workspace as well as enables you to simultaneously accomplish other tasks. Select “Okay” to complete this operation. It should also be noted that you can just as easily use the PTC Windchill "Search" function to achieve this same outcome.

Modify the Document

 

You can display the workspace contents by selecting the “Common Folders” menu, then “Workspace”. From here, it’s possible to open the model in PTC Creo Parametric and make the necessary change. In this example, to increase the pitch of the angled surface at the tip of the “Chuck”, you need to modify the D5 dimension that defines the tip geometry. It may be easier to identify this dimension if you switch the display to their symbols by selecting “Model Intent” in the menu and then switch symbols. Save the model to the active workspace then close the model window.

 

Modifydoc.PNG

 

Review and Share

 

To review these changes within the Workspace contents, refresh the page.  You will notice that the iteration for the CAD document has been incremented.

 

Review1.PNG

 

Let’s verify that the associated WT part has iterated, as well. Use the “Add Objects to Workspace” functionality to locate and display the version of the associated WT part to the latest version of the document. The “Advanced” tab will enable you to display the information about each. Within the “Advanced” menu, select the “Collect the Related Parts” functionality to locate the associated WT part. You will now see that the version of the “Chuck_5-10” WT part matches the version of the “Chuck_5-10 CAD” document. Aternately, you could simply navigate to the WTParts information page to confirm that the it has iterated and is described by the newly checked-in CAD document version. To share these changes with other users, check-in the CAD document again.

PTC_WM_CREATED_BY and PTC_WM_MODIFIED_BY in WC 10.2

December 2, 2013, 11:35 am

For those that are using PTC_WM_CREATED or PTC_WM_MODIFIED on their drawings, this came through from PTC today:

 

https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?source=subscription&n=CS146447

 

  • Since Windchill 10.2 the value of PTC_WM_CREATED_BY and PTC_WM_MODIFIED_BY contains a bracket with the information “(<username>:<organization name>)"



  • The preference User unique identifier display format  controls the format string with the following options:

    1. User name and organisation

    2. Email

 

This means that starting in 10.2, if you use these system parameters on your drawings, the drawing will now display either just the email address of the user or the organization appended to the username.  Nice.  I wonder how many title blocks will have to be redesigned...  Too bad they can't just add an option for "User Name" to at least maintain previous functionality.

new workstation slower - has significant lag

We are getting new workstations, Dell T-3610's, solid state drives, 16GB ram, Xeon E5-1603 Quad core and NVIDIA K5000 video cards, Windows 7, 64-bit. One thing we've noticed is a significant delay in Windchill 10.0 when selecting a command. For instance, in a collection dialog box for doing a rename in the workspace, if a user selects 7 out of 10 objects to remove them it will hang up with clicking the remove icon. It is about a 4-6 second delay, then it starts to execute the command. Our old workstations (T3500's) did not have this delay. We've timed opening assemblies and if it used to take 150 seconds it now takes about 170-190 seconds.

 

Any ideas why newer, faster hardware would be slower?

 

Thanks for any input.
